3 FACES OF LINDA

Linda Balhorn has worked all aspects of the modeling field. Now she specializes in three -- makeup, hair and photography.

Working with an average of four to five aspiring models a week, Balhorn does their hair and makeup and photographs them. She then prints up their composites, which they distribute to agencies.

''I like creating an image for someone -- doing their makeup, their hair and deciding how they should be photographed,'' 30-year-old Balhorn says.

''It`s a cross between playing dolls and creating a Hollywood star.''

Balhorn`s own successful modeling career began late -- she had already finished college. For seven years she worked in New York, Europe and Japan. While modeling, she became a partner in a Swiss modeling agency.

She also observed photographers in action and began experimenting on her own. ''I wanted to get into something that would develop into something else ... It`s hard to prove yourself after modeling. They think you are spoiled

-- that you are used to making money quickly.''

Not only does photography keep her busy, but her second book, ''The Professional Model`s Handbook,'' is now being published. She also owns a publishing company specializing in beauty.
